Searching for Ethanol

Tonight's journey takes us all round the area where the ethanol plant was supposed to be (but mysteriously disappeared--another victim of C.A.V.E., Citizens Against Virtually Everything). I took the oft-traveled Weldon Road, Cunningham Road and all through the Redenius Woods subdivision north of Cunningham, over to Meridian Road, south to Kelley Road and all through the subdivision south of Kelley.

There are lots of big expensive houses on those roads. I am going to have a big house like that same day... but probably not until after I'm dead. I find it humorous how much money these people out in the middle of the country, who many of whom paid premium prices for wooded lots, put into having thick, healthy, green, weed-free lawns. "I love nature--except weeds."

The more I ride my bike, the more obvious the following truth becomes to me: since I ride in circles (always ending up where I started from), the hills always even out. Some times you work your tail off going uphill first, and then reap the benefits on the downhill. Other times you get to freeload first, but then have to make up for it later. This being said, I've decided that anyone who likes to bike should hills. Sure, the ups are more work, but the downs are the most fun ever.

No ethanol located.
